The penultimate stage of the 2008 Northeast Junior Development Series takes place this weekend at the Timberman Sprint Triathlon. Near 50 juniors will toe the start line in one of the largest junior races in the United States. The event is sold-out. If you missed out on racing this year, be sure to sign up early in 2009.

Series standings will be updated immediately after Timberman. There are still a few spots left at the final stage, Kennebunk. Series awards will be presented to the top 5 overall at the Kennebunk awards ceremony.

After five races, Steve Wright and Ashley Thrower have opened a narrow lead over the field in the Series Standings. Wright has two wins under his belt, Hyannis and Falmouth. Thrower, on the other hand, is relying on a 4th a Hyannis and second place finishes at Grantham and Falmouth to edge into the lead. The battle for the five podium spots will come down to the final three races, with double points on the line at Kennebunk (check out their $25 junior entry fee, btw!).

The top five finishers in the series will take home a very cool Beijing-themed prize bag.
